Fans were shocked to receive the news that ByteDance was restructuring and that developer Nuverse, who brought the ultimately popular game Marvel Snap, was probably being shut down. The gaming community took to social media to voice their shock and displeasure, and many even wondered if there was any point to continue playing the game, now that it’s future is uncertain.
However, just a few hours after this announcement, the official Marvel Snap account put out a notice on their social media platform, where they said – “Some of our players have expressed their concerns regarding reported structural changes at Nuverse. We wish to thank you for your concern and assure you that regardless of any changes at Nuverse, Snap will continue to operate and flourish in the future!”
We do not know exactly how severe the restructuring will be, but it looks increasingly likely that ByteDance will be instructing the developers to stop working on current and upcoming projects, as the Chinese company is seeking to divest from their current investments in the gaming IPs. It is also looking very likely that ByteDance will not be entering the gaming space anytime soon.
Amidst this confusion, it will be interesting to see how Marvel Snap’s claims will be proven right. That said, if you are someone who enjoys Marvel Snap, now would be the time to start spending a little more time on it. There’s no saying what the future holds for this title.
